Abstract:A linear pulse transformer with air insulation at
atmospheric pressure was created and tested under both constant
resistance and non linear loads. The maximum power of the
transformer output pulse reached ∼500 MW at a matched load with
a charge voltage 50 kV. The transformer transferred ∼60% of
the stored energy to the load over a characteristic time of about
1 μs. The scalability the generator was studied by connecting
two identical transformers in series which gave a power output of
∼850 M… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
